}}'''GWR Breakdown Tool Van DW141''' was built at Swindon in 1908. In service these 6-wheel Tool Vans carried a large selection of equipment and lifting tackle, and were paired with Riding/Dormitory Vans such as [[GWR 89 Riding/Dormitory Van | DW89]].  They were vacuum-braked to permit fast running to the scene of accidents and breakdowns on the railway. 

Tool van DW141 and riding van DW89 were paired in service and based at Exeter.<ref name=GWSVRA>GW(SVR)A Newsletter, Winter 2024 Edition.</ref> 141 arrived on the SVR from Newton Abbot on 8 February 1971.<ref name="SVRSB">SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref> It is photographed in March 2015 situated in [[Bewdley Down Yard]]. 

The [[Great Western (SVR) Association]] reported at their 2023 AGM that they had assumed ownership of 141, previously with S. E. Sim<ref name="SVRSB"/>, a member of the [[4566 Group]]. Once cleared of spares for [[4566]] and [[5164]], the Association intended to use it for storage of their own spares, freeing up space in [[GWR 2426 Toplight Full Third]] to aid its ongoing restoration<ref>Announcement at the October 2023 GW(SVR)A AGM</ref>.
